Erase USB in Disk Utility says "Permission denied"
I'm trying to format my USB so I can get all the space back onto it, but every time I try to erase it in Disk Utility, this comes up:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied
Solution 1:
Try with diskutil:
diskutil eraseVolume HFS+ "new name" disk1
Replace new name
with the name you wish the disk to have, and disk1
with the disk identifier (select disk → Info).
